AnacilroniSms of Toilet.

One of the most important of the rules
just alluded to concerns the adaptation
of dress to different periods of life. Six

gradations of age which the careful
dresser should observe. Personal vanity
Is apt to override these invidious distinc-

anachronisms of toilet. The same very
human trait leads many to ignore de
fleets which dress is intended to conceal;
To give prominence To outlines of form

IL Is popular faliacy that the use Of
glasses should be delayed as long as pos
5ihle, for tear they Will become indis-
pcnsable. The fact is that among civ
Iized reading and thinking beings who
have any proper appreciation Of the value
of time they have already become indis-
pensable to those who can work more
easily with them than without them. We
have all better use for our strength than
to waste il in n gymnaStic contest against
time, W hen we are sure to be losers in the
end
By working the cillary muscle very
hard We can overcome the rigidIty Of the
lens even 1fter it has ceased to respond
to ordinary efforts. But persistence in
such effort merely obliges us to close our
books earlier in the day, and lose in time
what cannot be made up by the satisfac-
ton of being still independent of glasses
WEAKNESS, neuralgia, nervous prostra-
ton and other ills are the rewards of too
great obstinacy In such n course. Glasses
bear the same relation to civilized life as
surface cars, carriages aud other modern
conyeniences. We could get along with
out them But why should we?-Harper >

The theatre is large, well proper
toned building, with four galleries, rather
diuSy, but much better than any theatre
in eastern towns Of the size of Salt Lake
City. The audience was largely composed
of women. Groups of four or six of these
were attended by one man, and many Of
them came quite without escort. They
were dressed, IL without taste, still with
out vulgsrity, and among the younger ONES
L saw several very pretty girlish faces, some
of which would have been more attract
i've if an improvement on natures colors
had not been attempted.
The appearance of the men was in
finitely repulsive. Coarse and heavy faces
they had, for the most part, with stupid,
animal expression. / had almost written
british Hard faces, too, without mobil-
ity or kindness. They wear the beard
fell, with the upper lip shaver. IL the
mouth is the telltale feature of the face,
as is often said, it is as well, possibly, that
she majority of mankind wear it covered,
for the tale these Mormon mouths told
was was not a pleasant one to read. Many
nationalitieS were to be traced in the as
sembly-pale faced Swedes and ruddy
Welsh folk; the sandy Scotchman was not
wanting, nor yet the swarthy Chinese; but
best among them all to see was the deli
cate face of a Gentle, a young officer from
the fort near by, sitting alone amidst a
group of saints, who regarded him with
anything but amiable glances.-Cor. BOs-

The generous offer of DIR. II. &. Flower.
made to the Board of Trade last night, to
contribute $40, 900 to the establishment of
good schools in Palatka, should be ac-
cepted without delay. To those who
will aid TO build up graded school in
Palatka there will be a tnonument cree
ted in the lasting form of good citizens,
and thriving. moral community which
will outlast the granite shaft and monu-
mental brass. Their public spirit will
reproduce itself until in their latter days
they will be proud of the city they have
helped to raise. for the life of a city is
not alone in it's warehouses;, factories
and business houses, but also in the body
of its citizens whose enlightenment,
where they are enlightened, is the chief
safeguard of capital, the ever present
defence of its good name.

Traditions Of the EskiInOs.

But, speaking of traditions, might say
that these people possess IA great many Of
taem- 1t is, however, very difficult to in
duce an Eskimo to speak of such things or
Of his religious beliefs. The only way of
extracting such inf ~ iII2t.on from an Es-
kino is 10 make him your friend, and then
getting him away from his companions
promise that you will not tell them what
he may tell you, and having done this TO
draw him step by step into the line of
conversation you want TO get 1t.
One OF their traditions IS about the flood,
and l think it is particularly interesting,
rs il is one of many similar legends held
by the savage tribes The EskimOS say
that very long time ago there was a
great ram, which flooded the earth and
destroyed all men except y few who con-
structed a large boat ont of n number of
small ones and used it a means of
escape. After u while tine poor creatures,
being exposed to the fury of the storm in
their open boat, began 70 be cold and I'M

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 81.

ALLEGED INSULT TO THE QUEEN.
Charles Beresford, second lord of the adml-
rnlty, has resigned. He has been requested
To withdraw his resignation. The cause for
The resignation was a minor breach OF eti'
quette at Spithead during the naval review
last Saturday, when private signal made by
Lord Charles from the royal yacht was con-
var:ed into public signal. The breach Of
etiquette of which Lord Charles was guilty
is thus described While the Queen was re-
ceiving the captains of the feet in the sa-
loon of the royal yacht Albert and Victoria,
Lord Charles Beresford, who was on the
yacht, signalled to the Enchantress aboard
which his wife wac, the following message ::
Tell Lady Charles to go Immediately
aboard the yacht Lancashire Witch, where
| will join her." The captain of the En-
chantress, when the signal was given,
thought, of course, that it was special
royal command, but as the message was
slowly spelled out he became greatly en-
ragged. He had, however, to smother his
feelings, not daring to report Sir Charles IN
view of his position as 8 lord of the admit
rally The captain could not refrain, how
ever, from complaining privately to his
friends, and in this way reporter of the
Times learned of the incident. The result
was the publication of the whole story 10
Mondays issue of the Times. Lord Charles
then had no option but to resign. The in
oldent is believed to be unparalleled. Dis.
ciplinarians declared that Lord. Charless
conduct was virtually gross insult to the
Queen. The permanent officials of the ad'
miralty Office, it is said, are delighted over
the position in which the "relormer" (Beres'
